"We placed a public interest notice on two Tweets in this thread for violating our Civic Integrity Policy, specifically for encouraging people to potentially vote twice", the company statement said regarding Trump's tweets.

Twitter said Trump's tweets may be misleading because of the various voting laws in each US state, especially where voting twice may be illegal.

The company statement said Twitter users will be able to "Quote" Trump's tweets, but will not be able to "Like, Reply, or Retweet" them.

Earlier in the day, Trump tweeted that US citizens should submit a mail-in ballot and then on Election Day head to the polls to ensure their vote is counted.
